Our guest accommodations feature fifteen residence halls grouped in complexes on the east, south, and west sides of campus. These standard and suite-style residence halls comfortably accommodate 150 to 350 guests each. University dining centers are located near all on-campus housing.

General information

  • Most guest rooms are double or triple occupancy and are located along each side of the corridor, with stairs and elevator access (unless otherwise stated) to each floor.
  • Single rooms, double rooms, triple rooms, quad rooms, and suite-style rooms are all available.
  • The terms single, double, triple, etc. always refer to occupancy limits and the number of twin beds in the room.

Security and safety

OSU is nestled in the heart of the Willamette Valley. Corvallis is a small town with a warm community atmosphere. It is a safe and inviting place to hold your conference. OSU Department of Public Safety officers patrol outside the residence halls at night and Residential Conferences has staff available to assist you 24 hours a day. Building entrances are locked 24 hours a day. For extra precaution, please note the following safety tips:

  • Do not prop outside doors. This allows access into the buildings by unauthorized people.
  • Tell your guests to know their neighbors. If a guest finds someone on their floor that they do not recognize as part of your camp, particularly if they are behaving suspiciously, they should report it immediately to a camp staff member, chaperone, or Residential Conference staff.
  • Tell guests to always lock their room and carry their room key. We have experienced occasional thefts in the conference halls during the summer months, especially in rooms that were left unlocked while people were away at a program or camp session outside the residence hall.
  • Do not leave money, wallets, purses, or other valuables in plain sight. Put them in a drawer or closet where they are not visible or accessible to someone casually walking by guest rooms.
  • Do not invite strangers into guest rooms or conference hall.
  • Do not hang out windows or go out on window ledges.
  • Use fire escape landings for emergency purposes only. Do not hang off, sit, or play on or around the fire escape balcony railings.
  • Do not endanger others or create a mess by throwing food or other objects out the window or off balconies.

For emergencies only, call 911 from campus phones or use the emergency phones located in the buildings. For non-emergencies, or to file a crime report call Oregon State Police (OSP) at 7-3010 from a campus phone or 541-737-3010 from a cell phone.

Common Areas in the Residence Halls

  • Small guest lounges are available for use on each floor by prior arrangement with UHDS Conference staff. Furniture typically includes chairs, couches, and/or tables.
  • The main lounge (generally on the first floor) is available for use of all conference groups residing in the building and may be reserved by prior arrangement with UHDS Conference staff.
  • Each hall has a laundry room that is available to guests free of charge. Guests must provide their own detergent.
  • Kitchenettes may be available for use during summer.
  • Elevator access is available in all halls except Sackett.
  • For the safety and security of our guests, the front entrance doors of each hall will remain locked at all times. Adult guests will receive access cards that unlock the front door. Depending on the access requested by the conference, youth guests will need to be accompanied by an adult (such as staff, chaperone, or camp counselor) for building access at all time; or youth guests will have exterior building access to the from 7:00am - 7:00pm and will need to be let in by an adult outside those hours.

Room and outside access card

Youth participants will be issued a room key and an access card that will only access interior points inside the building assigned or an access card that includes 24/7 interior access and exterior building access from 7:00am - 7:00pm, depending on the access the Conference Sponsor selects for participants. Adults in both youth and adult groups will be issued a room key and an outside door and interior access card. We ask that you stress the importance of safety and security as it relates to keeping track of keys and access cards. The conference sponsor will be charged for all keys and access cards not returned at checkout even if the participant returns the key after departure. Replacement cost for room keys is $75 each and outside door access card is $15 each.

Telephone Service

Telephone service in residence halls is limited. Emergency telephones in yellow boxes are located just outside the main entrances of each residence hall. Some buildings have additional phones available at no charge for local or on campus calls.

Internet Service

All buildings have wireless throughout the building and access is provided free of charge via the OSU Visitor Network.
